Heights of Ego of Retiring Director, LASTEC, DRDO

It is heartening to inform you all that Director, LASTEC, DRDO has such caliber that he has written more than a dozen books and some are not even of his field.

Beside this he is an expert in down grading APAR marks of honest officers. Before the paper reaches him he compels the assessing and reviewing officer to downgrade APAR marks.

On 5th May 2014 he exercised his absolute power, which is with him up to 3rd June 2014, and compelled assessing officer to downgrade APAR marks of Sh. Prakash Singh, SAO-II who was certified as an honest officer by Honorable Defence Minister Sh. A. K. Antony.  Assessing officer initially gave 90 Marks to Sh. Prakash Singh, SAO-II. However, Director, LASTEC, DRDO Dr. Anil Kumar Maini terrorized the assessing officer and the 90 marks became 83 and whitener was used on 8 places.

Amazingly, Dr. Anil Kumar Maini not satisfied even after down grading APAR of Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II. He again called assessing officer on 13th May 2014 and threatened to use Official Secret Act, 1923 on him, this was the retort of Dr Maini as stated by reliable sources after seeing the 5th May comments on website www. corruptionindrdo.com.

These 8 white blots are basically not on the APAR of Sh. Prakash Singh SAO-II but they are in your bag which you are carrying with you after superannuation (VRS).

Hope Sh. Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO will protect  the assessing officer from the sharp horns of ? for the sake of dignity of DRDO.

Dr Maini bhaiya quitting DRDO – LASTEC ko kiske Bharose Chode ja rahe ho – Bade Bade LASER Projecto ka kya hoga, PRS ke Russian suppliers ka kya hoga?

It is very interesting case of VRS of Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, Lastec , where senior DRDO scientists are busy for managing extension per extension 60 ke 62 aur 62 ke bad 64 aur 64 ke bad 65 and so on.

But other hand like Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, Lastec silently quitting before 8 months of his superannuation

Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, Lastec, DRDO was the main accused in complaint of Sh Prakash Singh, SAO –II and DRDO sacked Sh Prakash Singh with comments “Sh Prakash Singh was sacked the allegation leveled by him was baseless”

Defence Minister A K Antony reinstated Sh Prakash Singh and ordered CBI intervention but Dr Anil Kumar Maini’s case was in pipeline with CVO, MoD.

Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, Lastec, DRDO was submitted his VRS paper silently and got sanction by competent authority and leaving DRDO on 31st May 2014. Dr A K Singh extended his all efforts to arrange farzi vigilance clearance like in the case of top corrupt DRDO official Dr W Selvamurhty’s vigilance clearance. The local DRDO vigilance cell’s vigilance clearance was put with pension paper and till date Dr W Selvamurthy not got vigilance clearance from CVO, MoD. As everyone knows that CVO, MoD raised note sheet with request of action against 10 top DRDO officials from CBI and Defence Minister A K Antony approved, so how can Dr W Selvamurthy got vigilance clearance from CVO, MoD at the time of his superannuation.

Assessment call for promotion to delinquent Scientists of DMSRDE Kanpur

To                                                                                            28th March 2014
Shri A.K. Antony

Govt. of India, Min. of Defence

Subject : Assessment call for promotion to delinquent Scientists of DMSRDE Kanpur

Sir,

I have submitted eleven complaints to you regarding Corruption cases meted out by Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur and several other Scientistsof this establishment working under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Min. of Defence. Details of complaints along with involved Scientists are as follows:dmsrde rac

Based on my complaints to you a Fact Finding Committee was constituted by DGR&D and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri to investigate my complaints and I have been informed by CPIO, DRDO regarding this. Copy of the letter No. RTI/01/2091/P/2014/0068 25 Feb 2014 from CPIO, DRDO is enclosed, Fact Finding Committee of DRDO yet to submit his report to DGR&D, DRDO.

The Fact Finding Committee under Chairmanship of Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE with as member Sh Manoj Bali, Sc ‘G’, Director, LIC, DRDO Hqrs and Sh Jagdeep, Sc ‘F’ Additional Director, DMM, DRDO Hqrs visited DMSRDE and inspected few files and interacted with scientists of DMSRDE. It is observed that the demeanor of  Fact Finding Committee was not appreciable, they treated the complainants unfairly because their mindset was prejudice and it is standard procedure in DRDO if someone want to give feedback about corrupt practice  of top officials they try to do their best for victimize such personnels. In this case the protest from complainants already present to DG, DRDO.

There are n numbers of examples, recently Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II, LASTEC, who gave feedback of corrupt practices of Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, LASTEC and others,  the whole DRDO sit aside and they forcibly gave CRS to Sh Prakash Singh but grace of GOD you intervene the situation and save the service of honest person. Surprisingly, Dr Anil Kumar Maini is living DRDO from 31st May 2014 as he applied VRS and got sanctioned. His retirement was due on 31st Jan 2015, Big question what is the hurry, or he is maintain the LASTEC legacy, his predecessor was also took VRS.

In this case the Fact Finding Committee Chairman Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE is a pro management, yes man recently in Dehradun he set a unprecedented example as Chairman of ASCODAR committee. While handling a very sensitive issue of SC Community he tried to harass Sh Jagdish Kumar, TO ‘C’ by pressurizing him to give power point presentation to prove himself for 94 marks in APAR, which was not in the purview of ASCODAR. This act was done only in pressure of Sh R C Agarwal, Director, DEAL, Dehradun (Fax copy enclosed)

How can honest persons believe that Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE will give justice to his assignment of Chairmanship of Fact Finding Committee. Hope GOD will give him strength to come out from grip of corrupt gang of DRDO.

Besides this above mentioned my all complaints has been registered at CVC and Director (VIG.), Ministry of Defence is inquiring the complaints. In this connection I got letter No. CVC/RTI/13/1862/249925 dated 18th March 2014 from CVC.  “All complaints sent to CVO, MoD for further action.

Sir, this year in DRDO following delinquent Scientists of DMSRDE involved in Corruption got assessment call for promotion vide RAC, DRDO letter No. RAC/08/05/AB/M/2014 dated 12 March 2014.  Details are as follows:dmsrde rac2

Sir, DRDS Rules 1979 as amended are applicable for Recruitment & Promotion   in case of DRDS cadre (Scientists) and FCS is fully applicable in DRDO. As per DOPT OM No. AB-14017_37_2008-Estt-RR.pdf dated 10 September 2010 page 6 Para (ix)     and Page 9 Para(4) it is clearly stated that “Scientists/ Technical experts doing management/ administrative work in the Ministries should not be considered for up gradation under FCS, they should only be given benefit of up gradation under MACP”. Then how these corrupt officers got outstanding report and outstanding call despite being involved in Administrative/Management/Non-Scientific work. These officers got reward from Dr. AK Saxena, Director for indenting and clearing the cases of procurement that resulted Corruption in tunes of crores.

Sir, I therefore kindly request you to issue order to DGR&D, DRDO and Chairman, RAC to take appropriate action as per laid down direction of GOI for appearing in Assessment-2014 for DRDS till they got clearance from Vigilance (MOD) and Fact Finding Committee of DRDO.

Sh Avinash Chander in his reply to press question regarding engaging scientists in allied work justified but he forgot that VI Pay commission gave all incentives to scientists who are engaged in scientific work not for those who are working as clerk and wasting our country’s  poor tax payers money.

Unfortunately, DRDO top management encouraging scientists to work as managerial task, like HR, Admin, Stores, Security etc for long durations and scientists who are involved in such tasks are getting outstanding promotions without any scientific contributions. Dr A K Singh, DOP, Dr R K Jain, Director, RAC are exemplary examples to all DRDS scientists.  Result the real scientists either leaving the organization or dumped un-utilized or frustrated and every ugly acts are coming out from organisation.

Appropriate early action is requested, I would like to thanks you for recommendation of CBI investigation in DRDO recruitment scam for 10 top DRDO officials and also recommendation for alternate recruitment mechanism instead of RAC.

Punished for highlighting corruption?’ DRDO officer ‘who knew too much’ sacked

By GAUTAM DATT PUBLISHED: 20:51 GMT, 2 November 2012 Mail Today

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Thursday took the unprecedented action of sacking an officer who claimed to be a whistleblower.

Senior administrative officer Prakash Singh, posted at the Defence Science Centre at Metcalfe House in North Delhi, was served with compulsory retirement order.

Singh was due to retire on December 31, 2023. But a DRDO team visited his house at Timarpur and pasted the retirement notice on the wall. Sources said Singh, who had taken leave from work on medical grounds, was not at home at that time. Singh plans to challenge the move in court.

He claimed the action against him was taken by officiating DRDO head H. Selvamurthy in the absence of scientific advisor to the defence minister, V.K. Saraswat, who is on leave.

Serving compulsory retirement notice is the harshest punishment that can be given to a government servant. DRDO sources said the action was taken strictly in adherence to the government rules.

The administrative officer is responsible for the functioning of a laboratory, but Singh had remained absent from work for two years in his previous assignments, they alleged.

The sources said Singh had a history of non-performance and trouble making.

He had made complaints against his seniors in the past which were found to be false, they added.

However, reliable sources said Singh was ‘punished’ for highlighting widespread corruption in DRDO.

The officer had filed a complaint with the CBI against three senior functionaries: Manas Kumar Mandal (director, institute of psychological research), Dr Anil Kumar Maini (director, Laster Science and Technology Centre) and Dr Arun Kumar (director, personnel, at the headquarters).

The CBI referred his complaint to the vigilance department of DRDO. One of these officers – Arun Kumar – was indicted in a recruitment scam by the Central Vigilance Commission that recommended penalty against him in August.

But the DRDO inquiry dismissed the charges of irregularities levelled against the three officials and recommended disciplinary action against Singh for making false complaints.
